You can have Washington, I'll take New Jersey.
You can have London but I want New York City.
I should get Providence, I've got a job now?!
Los Angeles - obvious - that's where You belong now...
You can have Africa, Asia, Australia...
As long as You keep your hands off Cafe Pamplona!
We can split Germany right down the middle!
You'd hate it there anyway,
Take Berlin and we'll call it even.
And if we find out that we have any children
We'll trade them off summers and alternating weekends.
You call it over and I call You psycho!
Significant other?! Just say we were lovers
And we'll call it even!
I am the ground zero ex-friend You ordered
Disgused as a hero to get past Your borders...
I know when I'm wanted, I'll leave if You ask me to!
Mind my own business and speak when I'm spoken to!
I am the tower around which You orbited...
I am not proud, I am just taking orders!
I fall to the groud within hours of impact!
I hit back when hit!!!
And attack when attacked!!!
... ...
You get Route 2 between Concord and Lexington,
I want Mass Ave from the sqaure to my apartment.
And if we should meet through some misunderstanding
I'll be very sweet, very patient and forgiving...
(Now get off my side of the state!)
And if we should see one another in passing,
Despite these techniques, there is sometimes no avoiding...
(There must be some kind of mistake?!)
We'll raise high the white flags and bow heads and shake hands
Declaring the land we're on unamerican!
We'll call it even!
... ...
I am an accident waiting to happen!
I'm laughing like mad while You strangle the captain!
My place may be taken, but make no mistake!
From a little black black box I can say without shame
That You've lost!
Do You know what You've lost?
So take whatever You'd like!
I'll strike like the States on fire!!!
You won't sleep very tight!
No hiding!
No safe covers!
Make Your bed and now lie
Just like you always do!
You can fake it for the papers but I'm on to You...!
The Dresden Dolls
Is this the way You imagined it to be?
Is this the correct version of Your truce?
Are You happy now that I'm polite?
Never again... Nevermore...
And You keep on stabbing my back
Even now that We're already dead...
...
Amanda, You're telling me a fairy-tale...!
